SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1909. 1909 WAS GOOD TO US. The year Juat ending has been the best 12 months in. tha short htotory ttf WaV.owa county and of the city of Enterprise, the county seat. There ha been a larger and more rapid Increase of wealth, and the entire year shows no large entry on the debit side j the account. The first and largest factor In the general diiffuskn of prosperity among all the people, has been tha railroad, for by It cash market have been created, at aU the stations for everything (the farmer raises. Tills has given cash to those who have hitherto had to depend on barter of what they raised to secure what they needed. A secondary result of the rail road Is the beginning f cultivation of .the vast areas of wheat Kund in this county, it Is the estimate of a conservative banker, who probably Is In. nearer touch with conditions than anyone else In the county, that 10, 000 more acres ck land In the vicin ity of Enterprise alone, will be seed ed this coming eeiaon than ever be fore. Tim sacond Llg factor In wealth gain has been t"ia high prices for everything of which we raise a sur plusgrain, hay, cattle, hogs, horses, sheep and wool. This, -with good crops, has (made the producer king, and lie If its the throne so well it is ciiisy to aeo he was cut out for the Job. Goodbye, 1909, You have been good to us. YVe'come, 1910. Beat '09 if you can. DR. COOK'S FAILURE. Niie out of ten peopla ore truly sorry that Dr. Cook failed to prove Jiiis casa. The proofs Bnibin.it ted to the Copenhagen University have been pronounced Insufficient by His committee that examined them. I'euiry'a proofs wo.iU probably have besa equably Jncoovpleta it examined by an Impartial Jury.

Ae ifor tlie naval clique and the rich parasites who compose the Peary Arctic club, they are and al- wiijs will be hell lu contempt by every honest man. The navy officers should not be blamed. They are trained to bJ- lieve a lie is Juetflod by the end it Mie end eought H to keep up the lie- tlon of foifalllbi lty that la fostered , to pro'ent latomii.e eala from being found out. The Idle rich who have for years sought notoriety by 'belonging to the Peary club, have shown n. the last tew months they would utop at no crime, however mean anl despicable, t accomplish 'their doMre. Peary's fame v,i be but ashei of disappointment during his lifetime. It seema strange that although we have had the initiative for seven s no.e of i'he boawUfU'l bookd ; ti -1 W"itiata.l Uratare ImwaA by Uia Co.iiniiorcial club ijf Portland, and all the cithor boostor orgwalza Ho; Llii-o.t hout t':e atai'o, have a il to -ay abo t It.
